Book description
Broadband optical access network is an ideal solution to alleviate the
first/last mile bottleneck of current Internet infrastructures. Richly
illustrated throughout to help clarify important topics,
Broadband Optical Access Networks
covers the architectures, protocols enabling technologies of broadband
optical access networks, and all current and future competing
technologies for access networks. This comprehensive work presents the
evolution of optical access networks, including reach extension,
bandwidth enhancement, and discusses the convergence of optical and
wireless technologies for broadband access, making it an invaluable
reference for researchers, electrical engineers, and graduate students.
